Elsie B. Stryker and Ralph W. Thomson both wrote brief histories of the village of Middlebush, Elsie's in 1935 and Ralph's in 1963. The two were combined and published as Where the Trees Grow Tall by the Franklin Township Historical Society in 1963. Many of the photographs featured in Elsie Stryker's portion of the volume were taken by Elton Wade and will be available here at some point in the future.
